Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (DEGEE)

Size 100g
Adding to Cart Added to Cart

Description: Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a colorless liquid with a mild odor. It is dissolvable in water and most organic solvents. Glycol ethers are primarily used as solvents in various formulations, such as: cleaning fluids, paints and wood stains, coatings and inks. It is particularly gaining importance in antimicrobial soaps, antiperspirants, nail polish removers, fragrances, hair dyes, and in products for treating acne, marks, and scars owing to its super solubilizing and efficacy boosting properties.

Alternative Names: Ethyldiglycol, Ethoxydiglycol, DGM, DEGEE, Carbitol, Dowanol DE, 2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethanol, Diglycol monoethyl ether, monoethyl ether, Ethyl carbitol, Ethyl diethylene glycol, Dioxitol.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No. DEGEE and Propylene Glycol are different solvents with different solvency, sensory and regulatory profiles. They should not be treated as 1:1 substitutes without reformulation.

No. It can improve solubility for some ingredients, but haze may also come from pH, salts, polymers, incompatible oils or crystallisation. Identify the cause before adding more solvent.

It can function as a solvent in some fragrance systems, but compatibility, odour impact and market-specific use conditions should be checked for the exact finished product.

No. Penetration is a finished-formula property and depends on the active, concentration, vehicle and skin model. Avoid making delivery claims without evidence.

Not directly. Glycerin is primarily used as a humectant, while DEGEE is valued mainly for solvency. Substitution changes both function and sensory profile.

Add it in the phase where its target ingredients are best dissolved and follow the exact raw-material guidance. Check polymer compatibility before final viscosity adjustment.

Yes. Solvents can change polymer hydration and reduce or alter viscosity. Add DEGEE before final rheology adjustment and allow the formula to equilibrate.

Use normal raw-material PPE, good ventilation and the current SDS. Avoid eye contact and unnecessary skin exposure, and keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

Increasing solvent may help only if solubility is the limiting factor. Confirm the active solubility, pH and temperature profile and run stability trials rather than increasing solvent blindly.

Yes. Solvent systems can interact with plastics, seals and pumps, so monitor appearance, odour, viscosity, package integrity and active crystallisation in the final pack.
